Una Health recognise the growing threat of AMR
With their experience of diagnostics at both a national and a global level, Una Health recognise the growing threat of AMR, and in particular the burden it places on low- and-middle income countries. AMR is a major problem in Tanzania, where there is a very low awareness of the issue among the public, professionals and policy makers. With its emphasis on education, RBA-Initiative’s AMR Clubs are a great example of passionate volunteers addressing superbugs at a local level, empowering the next generation with the knowledge they need to keep themselves, their families, and their communities safe.
Throughout March, the team at Una Health will embark on a series of fun fundraising challenges, including a raffle, a bake sale, and a bid to ‘climb’ a virtual Mount Kilimanjaro (Tanzania’s highest mountain) – a total of 128,263 steps between them. Phew!
We’re hugely grateful to Una Health for their support, which will make a huge difference to the lives of young people in Tanzania.
Don’t forget, we’re still looking for more teams to raise funds for a school-in-a-box. You can find out more about the project here, or contact liam@stopsuperbugs.co.uk to register your team.
